Romeo and Juliet in the Snow.

Eben Plympton tells with a rare spirit of reminiscence of a former trip to Buffalo. He was travelling with Adalaide Nelson, playing Romeo to her Juliet the best Romeo l have ever seen to the best Juliet of this genera tion. They were stopping at the lift House, and, looking out on Main street on Sunday, Plympton saw Buffalo un- der one those nights that Lowell says "God makes" ''all silence and all glisten." It was a perfect night for a sleigh-ride. He suggested a trip to Nelson, and she was wild for spin over the shining snow. Plympton went 10 veteran Doc Tuthill and secured gay turn out. Turnout it proved to be. They drove out Della ware to the park and were breathing in delight. when in the middle of the park their horses took fright at some thing, broke. smashed things generally and left them-and Romeo and Juliet came to town like many q company that have gone out with bright pros pects-on their uppers-and taore was no interstate commerce law then. either.-Butfalo News.

Ravages of Rose Bugs.

The bug pest has assumed destructive
proportions in some parts of Delaware, and
the farmers do not know how to fight it. At
ST. Georges, along the Chesapeake and Del
aware canal, the bugs are clearing out the
gardens and truck patches. One farmer who
had 10, 900 plants early last week on Sunday
counted 1000 as still intact, with the patch
swarming with the insects. But they have
been most destructive in the neighborhood OF
Dover and Just south of that town in Kent
county, Del, and Caroline county, Md.
Peach. pear, plum and cherry trees are being
stripped of their fruit and foliage, and tomato,
cabbage and potato vines are devoured nearly
down to the ground. Grape vines in Dover
town are robbed of leaves and the young
fruit, and even hedgerows are attacked in the
country. An East Dover farmer found no
less than thirty eight bugs on a cherry limb
two feet long. The leaves were in shreds,
and only the stones of the young fruit ad-
hered to the stems. Col. Layton, of West
Dover, discovered fifteen bugs on one peach.
They had evidently just begun their work,
but after he had brushed them off he found
the green meat of the peach ground to pulp,
which crumbed off under his fingers. Fruit
growers of all classes are much discouraged.
They are at their wits end about the new
pest. Some have used air Stacked lime, but
with uncertain effect.
1t is reported, too, that the bug has invaded
the Kent wheat fields; that in number of
instances the wheat, cut out by haudiuls, was
found to be entirely grainless, each ear hav-
ing been shelled as thoroughly as if it had
gone through thrasher. The wheat in the
lower end of New Castle county is also being
damaged, but by cut-worms, and not these
bugs. The injury done by the worms is, how
ever, not so general as that accomplished by
the rose bug.

Editorial Notes.

Over twelve tons of sturgeon were shipped
from Delaware City to New York last week.
The Board of Health of Key West, Florida,
has declared yellow fever epidemic in that
city.
Mr.. James G. Blaine and family sailed from
New York for Europe on the steamer Ems on
Wednesday.
Hon. Lewis H. McComas is mentioned in
this section as likely to be the Republican
candidate for Governor next fall.
The steamer Umbria arrived at New York
on Saturday from Queenstown, making the
trip in six days, four hours and twelve minutes,
the quickest trip ever made across the ocean.
The New Orleans Times Democrat states
that it costs one dollar tojoin Henry Georges
Anti Poverty League, and goes on to say that
the ante is for George, the poverty for the
member.
The colored people of Baltimore demand
colored teachers for colOred schools. 1t is
surprising that there should be any necessity
for such demand. 1t ought to have been
accorded, without asking, long ago. That it
has not been is in no way creditable to the
school authorities of that city.

The Maryland Democratic Club of Wash
ington, d. c., composed of three hundred
registered voters in this State, have declared
for Second Assistant Postmaster General A.
Leo Knott for Governor. The members of
this club are nearly all office holders, and the
Democratic party of Maryland don't propose
that office. holders shall have undue influence
in State politics. 0fiicious interference by
federal office holders under Republican rule
did much to destroy Republican supre-
macy, and the Democratic party should profit
by that experience. Mr.. Knott would make
very capable executive, but his candidacy
cannot be advanced by the advocacy Of club
of federal office holders.
The New York Star is making slow prog
ress in its effort to raise Sl25, 600 for the Grant
monument fund. At the end OF the first week
the whole amount received was less than
5000, and this, too, after circulars had been
sent to wealthy business men and prominent
politicians previously to announcing the in
tended effort through its columns. The Star
says it feels encouraged, but it will tire of the
task shortly and abandon it. Had Grant
kept aloof from politics and stock speculation
frauds, and been content to remain in the
army, there would have been no difficulty in
raising any amount of money to perpetuate
his memory in granite and marble. His
political and business career since the
Appomatox triumph did much to destroy
the admiration and respect of the people.
Besides, many persons believe that, as New
York was so anxious to be the last resting
place of his remains, her citizens should
build the monument themselves. There is
abundant ability there-only the inclination
| is wanting.

Republican Opinion of German.

If there is man in the country who de-

parry an interviewer with great adroitness

opinion upon public topics that precludes any

ership and manipulation. The Senator was
in New York during the week, and while he
would not talk for an interview chatted briefly
about some points in national politics.
Among other things. he said that in his opin.
ion the next contest for the presidency would
be a repetition of that of 1884 as regards the
leading candidates. "Ifthe conventions we're
to come off now said the Senator, "both
Cleveland and Blaine would be renominated.
The result would be walk over. Mr.. Cleve-
land would be re elected. Our party is so en-

man that the Republicans may name. There
has been no great general legislation 20 affect

country. Possession of power by our party
has brushed away the cobwebs. Nothing has
gone wrong, as was predicted. On the con-
trary, the government has been fairly admin
istered and the party has secured public con.
6dence. Of course, great many things may
happen between this time and the meeting of
the national conventions next year, which
might change the whole situation. The most
difficult period to make prediction as to the
future Of politics is in the summer and fall
year before the conventions meet"

Bench and Bar Belligerent.


The unusual spectacle of quarrel between.
two Judges sitting together on the bench OF
the Court of Quarter Sessions, was witnessed
on Monday last. at Camden, N. j. Shortly
after court opened Lay Judge Woolston an
nounced that it had come to his ears that u
Mrs. Stoy, who keeps tavern IN Stockton
township, had been conducting her business
in such manner as to cause comment ana
scandal in the neighborhood, and she alleged
that she stood in no fear OF the law, as she
had the "biggest man in the court on her
side. ~ want it understood by the public
that am not the man. said Judge Woolston.
Presiding Judge Hugg said he was not the
man, and Lay Judge Gauntt denied all knowl-
edge of the woman or her place. Presiding
Judge Hugg also said that Mrs. Stoy license
had been granted in accordance with law, and
if it was shown to the court that she was vio-
lating or had violated the law, that her license
would be revoked. Judge Woolston then
addressed himself personally to the presiding
judge and said:
"Didn't you know, sir, when you voted to
grant Mrs Stoy's license that she was selling
liquor on Sunday and in other ways illegally.
''No sir, Judge Hugg Indignantly replied,
81 did not" Judge Woolston then asked
the presiding Judge if Mrs. Stoy had not come
to his office on one occasion with bottle OF
whisky but Judge Hugg also promptly denied
this, and added that it was mean and con-
temptible thing for his associate on the bench
to bring such matter up publicly in court.
Judge Woolston's retort to this was: That's
because IN dealing with mean and con-
temptibe man."
The quarrel went no further, but i caused
a profound sensation among the surprised
spectators, and especially among the lawyers
present. 1t was subsequently learned that
the court had been criticised in temperance
and church circles for granting a license for
Mrs Stoy's place last month, and Judge
Woolston, who voted against the license,
took this opportunity of setting himself right
before the public.
FIGHT IN COURT.
In the course of the trial of the case of Ross
& Sanford against the Annapolis and Baih-
more Short Line Railroad Company, in the
Court of Common Pleas, Baltimore, Colonel
Wallis Blackstone, for compliments, on We'd
nesday called in question statement of an
account made by the other side as calcu lated
to mislead and deceive the jury. Mr.. John
E. Semmes, of counsel for the defence, said
.sThat is false ~ ''What is that?' said Col.
Blackstone Mr.. Semmes repeated the re-
mark, whereupon Col. Blakiston Immediately
struck Mr.. Semmes a singing blow under the
left ear There was Immediately great ex-
element in the court room, but no more
blows passed, and quiet was soon restored.
Then followed apologies on both sides, made
to the court, for this breach of decorum.
Messrs Blackstone and Semmes both stated
that they regretted what had taken place.
Judge Brown administered rebuke to the
counsel, and the business of the court was re-
sumed.

correspondence of the Democratic Advocat


PIKEsvILLE, MD., June 4, 1887.
MEssRs. EDIToRs In reviewing some old
papers that | have in my possession, some
time since, | found among them a copy OF
one of the first papers published in your
county. The title of the paper is ''1he DEM
oerat and Carroll County Republican,,
Joseph NJ Parke, editor and proprietor.
The date of the paper is Thursday, July 30,
1870" As this was the year that VIM. H.
Harrison was running the second time for
President, it is needless to say that the col
umns of the paper are pretty well filled with
scathine denunciations of sold Tippeea-
NOE and his policy. 1t also contains a fac
smile of the Democratic Presidential ticket
of that year, which is as follows:
For President,
Martin Van Buren,,
of New York.
For Vice President,
Richard NJ. Johnson,
of Kentucky.
Electoral Ticket.
VIM. A.. Spencer, of the Eastern Shore.
Henry G. s. Key, of the Western Shore.
District No. 1-Cathel Humphreys,
" Edward Lloyd,
-" 3-Otho Scott,
- - Benjamin C. Howard,
- James Murray,
i" " 5-Wm. p. Maulsby,
/" 80 6-Charles Macgill,
/" Walter Mitchell.
For the Assembly.
John B. Boyle,
Jacob Shower,
Daniel Stull,
Samuel ID. Lecomptc.
Perhaps the most prominent parties men
toned on this ticket are the following three
gentlemen: Benjamin C. Howard, VIM. P.
Maulsby, Samuel d. Lecompte. Benjamin
C. Howard was the son of Col. John Eager
Howard, of Revolutionary fame. In 1929 he
was one of the electors on Jackson's ticket,
and in the year 1910 he represented Balti-
more city and county in the State Senate;
he also ran as Democratic candidate for
Governor against Augustus W. Bradford,
the Union candidate, but met with an over
whelming defeat. General Howard died
in March, 1872. His country-seat, "Rosyln, J"
situated one mile west of Pikesville, is still in
the possession of his widow, who is living at
an advanced age. II is needless to say, per-
haps, that Col. VIM. p Maulsby, of your
county, is the only living survivor. of the par
ties whose names adorned the Van Buren,
ticket from this State, when he ran his second
term for President. Yours respectfully,
CHAs. l.. SHIPLEY.
